Sad Week for Children
T was a sad day for the 10-12-year-olds when Commando Story came to an end at 1ZB, and they spent some miserable hours before the final instalment, lest it should end, as did its forerunner Coast Patrol, with the death of a beloved hero. We have enjoyed both these serials, and would have been happy if they could have continued for the duration, They had simple and kindly humour," and hair-raising adventures which cannot in this war be called incredible; if at times we thought them rather overloaded with heroics and "his captain’s hand on his shoulder smote" type of talk the children took it all very seriously, and for them, I am sure, it was natural, wholesome food.
